1. Anyone with 2.0T have issues with the air intakes during heavy rain, snow, and salt. As far as getting clogged or performance decreasing?

2. Anyone using nitrogen in there tires?

'08 Avant 6MT 2.0T

Seems to work quite well.

J/K, I do have nitrogen in my tires, I have heard all sorts of rumors about "faster turn in" and "better handling" I could not say it did either, but I have it so that my pressure doesn't change as drastically on the track.

It came free with the road hazard package I bought. As others said, your tire pressure should remain more stable.

I really don't see how an additional 20% or so of Nitrogen is going to make that much of a difference in fuel consumption. Maybe by reducing overall weight by making the wallet lighter. ;-)<ul><li><a href="http://www.straightdope.com/columns/070216.html">http://www.straightdope.com/columns/070216.html</a</li></ul>
